Suppressors are addictive and fun!  The vast majority of my shooting is now done with a suppressor including my deer hunting.   Wait times are way down!  My last suppressor took 13 days and a friends took four days.  Good luck with it!

I agree with everything JW wrote.  The 6.5x300 is the most finicky cartridge I have ever loaded for, and that seems to be a common opinion about this round.  Apparently a lot of custom builders won't chamber a rifle in this round. I have had good results with loading six other Weatherby rounds.  I have had good luck with Federal primers, Reloder, IMR 7828, and VVN560 powders. Good luck!

I now own two centerfire 30 cal Thunder Beast suppressors.  A Ultra 9 Gen2 (9") and a Dominus (6.25").  I have friends that had suppressors for a while but never really considered using them until I started developing a load for another friends 300 Winchester.  I fell in love with shooting rifles with suppressors.  I'm now shooting my 300 Wby, 264Wby, 300 Blackout, 223, 6 BR, and 22's.  I'll eventually get my 257 set up to use them.  I tend to sit in one spot and usually in a blind so they suit me and it's just an absolute pleasure to shoot with them.  Lots of guys are shortening their barrels to shoot with suppressors and I'm not opposed to that.  The older I get the less interested I am in running rifles on the ragged edge.  It's nice not to have to carry earmuffs in my backpack too.

My 264x257 Wby is about to be turned into a 7mm Wby.  I loved playing with the 6.5 and it's deadly on deer but it is a throat eater.  That 7 Wby should do me from now on.  It's a fantastic round.

Go try a 3 1/2" Winchester 2 1/4 oz turkey load out of an over/under shotgun.  It will cross your eyes!

Get a Thunder Beast if accuracy and great suppression are important to you.  Also, go ahead and get a 22 suppressor.  They are tons of fun!  The Silencer Co. Omega is a really nice can as well.

JB's bore paste and Kroil will get the barrel clean.

I too thought Ed was a big 270 Weatherby fan and Roy was partial to the 257?

The 7x300 makes more sense.

Which is essentially the ballistic twin of the 7mm STW...
Very true, but it would be a Weatherby.

There is a lot of good reloading information on there too!

Two inches high at 100 with that load will put you 1.6" high at 200.  What size group are you shooting at 100 and 200?
